What sort of actions are truly random? I can understand why a coin flip can be viewed as deterministic, because if a precise robot had all the situational knowledge, it could flip heads every time.

But radioactive decay is supposed to be random. As in, every atom is the the same, but some, randomly, decay. That never made sense to me.
